The daily life of a cold and aloof general raising his wife

Seeing her loudly questioning him made Gu Shi even more unhappy.

"Siyu, haven't I treated you well? I stayed outside to watch over you when you gave birth a few months ago, and you were able to deliver your child safely. How can you be so ungrateful now?"

“Aunt, you have been kind to me, and I have always remembered it. How can you say that I am ungrateful? What ungrateful thing have I done?”

Du Siyu felt very confused. She hadn't even gone to her aunt's side today, so how had she offended her?

Madam Gu didn't think she had done anything wrong at all. "Now that you've climbed up the social ladder, you look down on your aunt. From now on, our two families should cut off all contact."

"Aunt, who are you threatening? Fine, let's break it off then. I'm not your older cousin who let you bully me for years before I finally stood up for myself."

Du Siyu was so angry that she blurted out those words.

"you you……"

Madam Gu was so angry with her that she couldn't speak for half a day.

Seeing this, Jiang Shurou quickly spoke up, "Cousin, please say less. My mother is your elder, how can you be so disrespectful to her?"

Du Siyu looked at her and asked, "Did you gossip about me to your aunt?"

After Du Siyu finished speaking, she became even more certain that it must be Jiang Shurou. Otherwise, her aunt wouldn't have come to cause trouble for her out of the blue.

Jiang Shurou was displeased when she heard this. "Cousin, what are you saying? What do you mean I'm stirring up trouble? Am I that kind of person?"

Du Siyu said coldly, "You know perfectly well whether it's true or not."

Madam Gu turned to her daughter and said, "Stop slandering my Rou'er."

Du Siyu reminded her, "Aunt, this is the First Prince's residence. Today is the First Prince's birthday. I don't think you want to bring bad luck on this day."

Gu remained silent; this was indeed not the place to argue.

Du Siyu bowed to Madam Gu and then turned and left.

Madam Gu gritted her teeth and said, "This little girl has really grown wings; now she even dares to talk back to me."

Jiang Shurou remarked from the side, "My cousin is getting more and more arrogant."

Du Siyu felt incredibly unlucky; she really didn't know what had gotten into Gu Shi this time!

I respect her as an elder, but does that mean an elder can humiliate me at will?

Pearl quickly followed Du Siyu and asked tentatively, "Is it because the young mistress was unhappy that you and the princess were together all the time?"

Du Siyu listened to her words and felt that they made some sense.

"How can my aunt be so heartless? Does she only feel happy when no one dares to approach my older cousin?"

Du Siyu felt indignant on Jiang Shuwan's behalf.

"This servant does not know."

Du Siyu said indignantly, "I must have a good talk with my aunt with my mother another day."

**

Pei Yurong saw Jiang Shuwan sitting alone, so she went over to talk to her.

Just then, a maid came over to change the tea and snacks.

Feiyue grabbed the maid, while Feiyun shielded Jiang Shuwan behind her.

Their commotion was quite significant, attracting considerable attention.

Pei Yurong was also startled and quickly asked, "Cousin, what's wrong?"

Feiyue pulled the maid away and then knelt down.

“Your Highness, I saw that this person had oleander on him, so in my haste I disturbed Your Highness and Madam. It was all my fault.”

Oleander?

The Crown Princess saw the maid.

The maid knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "This servant doesn't know anything about oleander."

“That’s an oleander on your head,” Fei Yue said, pointing to the flower on her head.

“Normally it would be fine, but pregnant women should not touch oleander, which is why I did this. I have frightened the Crown Princess, and I deserve to die. Please punish me, Crown Princess.” Fei Yue said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Pei Yurong grasped the key point: Jiang Shuwan was pregnant.

“This whole thing is because of this lowly servant. Miss Feiyue is just loyally protecting her mistress, what crime has she committed?” After Pei Yurong finished speaking, she gave a wink to the maid beside her. The maid went over to help Feiyue up and had someone drag the little maid who was kneeling on the ground away.

The group of people gathered around started discussing it in hushed tones.

Princess Yongning is pregnant!?

None of the people present knew this.

"If it weren't for the cleverness of your maid, I'm afraid a terrible mistake would have been made today. It's all my fault," Pei Yurong said apologetically.

"How can I blame you? The little girl probably thought the flowers were pretty, so she put them on her head. She didn't mean it."

Jiang Shuwan was so busy talking to Pei Yurong that she didn't even notice what the maid was wearing on her head.

"Just don't blame me."

This little episode just passed.

After calming down, Madam Gu brought Jiang Shurou back to the banquet. As soon as they arrived, they heard words like "child" and "pregnant woman".

Curious, Madam Gu asked, "Is someone pregnant?"

The person subconsciously said, "It's Princess Yongning." Only after saying that did she realize who had asked her the question.

Gu's expression became somewhat unnatural.

The lady felt a pang of regret upon seeing it, wondering why she had spoken so quickly!

Jiang Shurou hadn't expected Jiang Shuwan to be pregnant. No wonder she looked different today; it turned out she was pregnant.

Jiang Shurou felt terrible thinking about how comfortable Jiang Shuwan's life was now.

Now that everyone knew about her pregnancy, Jiang Shuwan used her health as an excuse to leave with Xie Youwei.

Before they left, Pei Yurong personally saw them off and gave Jiang Shuwan a lot of tonics to help her take good care of herself.

Jiang Shuwan couldn't refuse, so she accepted them all.

Xie Huai'an went to the border to bring the princess back to the capital, and Princess Yongning became pregnant at the same time. What a coincidence!

It's worth noting that Jiang Shuwan has been married for many years without a place to live, and many people have slandered her behind her back, saying that she can't have children. Now, those people have been completely proven wrong.

After all the guests had left, Pei Yurong asked her maid to bring over the little girl who had made a mistake that day.

This girl has been beaten twenty times and is now on the verge of death.

Pei Yurong frowned and said with disdain, "How could you beat someone up like this?"

Then she asked, "Did you find out anything?"

"She said that a lady had given her those words, but she didn't know who it was."

The maid only mentioned the color and appearance of the clothes; in short, there were more than a dozen of the same color today.

Hearing her useless words, Pei Yurong said irritably, "Alright, take him away."

"Yes."

After everyone left, only Pei Yurong and her personal maid remained in the room.

"No matter who it is, if that person tries to cause trouble for Jiang Shuwan at the First Prince's residence, it is against me. Tell the people below that if anything like this happens again, I will not let them off lightly!"

"Yes."

Pei Yurong was always strict with her subordinates, but strictness had its advantages. The servants in the mansion had never made a mistake before, but today a mistake had occurred. Pei Yurong always had high standards, and she would never allow such a thing to happen again.

Pei Yurong didn't want a mere prince's wife position; she wanted to be the empress of the world, and she would never allow anyone to ruin her grand ambition!

Within half a day, all the officials' wives in the capital knew that Jiang Shuwan was pregnant.
